Nighttime Elimination: Strategies to Promote Restorative Sleep (CEU offered)
Presenter: Robyn Wilder RN, WCC
The course recognizes the value of sleep to overall health and wellness of the human body. Sleep disruptions create
fragmented sleep and prohibit the opportunity for restful restorative sleep. Nighttime elimination is one of the most
common sleep disturbances for the elderly. In nursing home settings frequent interruptions due to bowel or bladder
incontinence occur. This course was created by Empira a consortium of aging service providers in Minnesota who are
committed to knowing better and doing better to advance person centered, clinical and holistic care through creation of
signature programs.
